Bleeb doesn’t like it down here. Causing his antennas to wilt.

When I think of substitute teachers way back when, I think of either a: those poor people or b: us poor students. Either we walked all over them, or they beat us down like a rented mule.

I guess it’s called middle school now.

And STILL you ended up there? What DID you do?

22 years as a middle school sub? And the pay is so great. Shoot me.

Seems to me she would have already lived her Hell on Earth so she should have gone straight to Heaven and been instantly canonized as a saint!

My daughter taught a school year in the 9th Ward in New Orleans pre Katrina.

You’d think she’d already served her time.

Must’ve murdered one of the little darlings!

With a resume like that, she should be up for sainthood.

I was expecting to see Dalcon here.

Having done that, Heaven would better suit you-

That would be one hell of a mess.

AH CRAP, I died! AH CRAP, I’m in hell!AH CRAP, that means nuthin’ to eat but Deviled Eggs, Deviled Ham, and Devil’s Food Cake! Hmmm, wait a minute….

I think the devil just got an idea for another torment.

I prefer going through high water

Not a very good one apparently.

Hope their clothes are fire proof.

Why do they have clothes?

That makes you a saint! Thank you!

I thought all teachers go to heaven. Seems fair.
